Vibration Switches / USB Transmitters
Application
The VS1x has functions which are not found in common vibration
switches.
All devices can be programmed via a USB port.
They feature peak and RMS vibration monitoring with selectable
frequency limits. There is a relay output for switching external
loads. In addition models VS11 and VS12 allow monitoring in
frequency domain. The frequency spectrum is measured and
compared to individual amplitude limits in 10 user-selectable
frequency ranges.
The VS12 has an external USB socket. It can be directly connected to PCs for quick and simple vibration measurements.
The devices include piezoelectric accelerometers providing high
precision, good resolution and a wide frequency range.
Typical applications are:
• Vibration monitoring of motors, fans, pumps, compressors etc.
to ISO 10816 / 20816
• Quality control in production
• Emergency shut-off in production installations where vibration
may endanger personnel and equipment
• Monitoring vibrations as part of process control
• Protection of fragile goods during transportation
• Vibration monitoring at rail vehicles
• Safety switch at doors, gates etc.
Properties
